The President's attempt to try and take control of California's National Guard to deploy 2,000 troops is reckless and dangerous. He's sowing unrest and chaos -- and trying to distract from the fact that people have basic rights to counsel and due process. www.nytimes.com/live/2025/06...

SEIU President David Huerta was injured & arrested today for simply exercising his first amendment right during an ICE raid in LA. How Huerta was treated is horrific and the increased terrorization of immigrant communities is unacceptable. I join SEIU CA in calling for Huerta’s immediate release.

June is Gun Violence Prevention Month - meanwhile the Trump Administration is cutting funding for gun violence prevention and interruption work for groups like Youth Alive in Oakland. Make it make sense. I spoke on the House floor this morning about how we can’t stop this critical work now.

Trump sent a recessions package to Congress trying to claw back over $1 billion in already approved funding for public radio and NPR. I grew up in Youth Radio in the Bay, my late husband was a journalist - non-partisan public radio is critical for both rural and urban communities across the U.S.

I joined my CAPAC colleagues in demanding more answers from Secretary of State Rubio on his plans to revoke visas for Chinese students. Many individuals come to the U.S. seeking better opportunties and become rich contributors to their communities - we should not demonize this.

I am deeply saddened by the horrific attack in Boulder. We must do everything as a nation and in our local communities to condemn this hate and commit to building a nation where no one has to pray in fear or walk in silence.

So few people who make laws for the poor, have been poor. I testified against the Republican reconciliation bill last week. Republicans are pushing harsh work requirements— but not creating the infrastructure for good jobs with sustainable LIVING wages or health care. Make it make sense!

We’ve lost a giant. Congressman Charles Rangel was a war hero, a founding member of the Congressional Black Caucus, and a fearless champion for justice. He fought for the poor, stood tall for Harlem, and shaped the conscience of Congress. May we honor his legacy in how we serve. Rest in power.

Today marks five years since George Floyd's death. Floyd's unjust killing sparked a global uprising that led to police reform agreements and needed conversations about unconstitutional policing and civil rights violations. We cannot forgot Floyd's life and must continue the push towards justice.

On what would have been his 95th birthday, we honor San Francisco's iconic Harvey Milk: a pioneer for LGBTQ+ rights whose courage gave hope to millions. Though his life was stolen in a vile act of hate, his legacy lives on in the fight for equality, dignity and justice for all.

Devastated by the killing of two staffers outside of an American Jewish Committee event in Washington, D.C. last night. Antisemitism and violence have no place in our society. My heart breaks for Sarah Milgrim and Yaron Lischinsky's families and loved ones.

Today I proposed two amendments to the Republican budget reconciliation bill to 1) protect access to reproductive health care and 2) protect our federal workforce & SNAP. Republicans tried to sneak this bill through in the dead of the night. Dems have been here since 1am holding up the bill.

Heartbroken to hear of the passing of my colleague and Oversight Ranking Member Congressman Gerry Connolly. He was a dedicated public servant and steadfast champion for federal workers - but more importantly, Rep. Connolly always led with kindness. My heart goes out to his family and loved ones.

Republicans are trying to make final changes then jam through the reconciliation bill and send it to the House floor for a vote today. One of the changes is speeding up work requirements for Medicaid. I joined @aijenpoo.bsky.social and @repnikema.bsky.social to debunk work requirements.

Rep. LaMonica McIver was carrying out her constitutional duty and conducting lawful oversight at Delaney Hall. The baseless charges against her are the Trump Administration’s attempt to intimidate and silence Members of Congress and ANYONE who speaks out.

Devastated by the passing of my friend Federal Glover. Federal was the first Black Supervisor in Contra Costa County, a dedicated public servant for over two decades, and a loving family man. His leadership lifted us all up. My love goes out to Janis, their children, and grandchildren.

Today marks the 60th anniversary of Head Start. Trump has said recently he will not make cuts to Head Start, and I’m fighting to make sure he sticks to that promise. Cutting Head Start is not efficiency - it’s breaking the bones of our nation and stopping futures.
